A line plot with the lengths of meteors is shown. Two more identical meteor measurements were added so that the total length of all meteors measured is 16 inches. What is the length of each new meteor? A line plot with the title, length of meteors. The data is measurement in inches. The line plot goes from two eighths to one and seven eighths, with fourteen tick marks in all. The first tick mark is two eighths and has one data point. The second tick mark is three eighths and has three data points. The third tick mark is four eighths and has two data points. The fourth tick mark is five eighths and has no data points. The fifth tick mark is six eighths and has two data points. The sixth tick mark is seven eighths and has no data points. The seventh tick mark is one and has no data points. The eighth tick mark is one and one eighth and has no data points. The ninth tick mark is one and two eighths and has one data point. The tenth tick mark is one and three eighths and has two data points. The eleventh tick mark is one and four eighths and has no data points. The twelfth tick mark is one and five eighths and has no data points. The thirteenth tick mark is one and six eighths and has two data points. The fourteenth tick mark is one and seven eighths and has one data point.

1 inch
one and one eighth inches
one and two eighths inches
one and three eighths inches

well i got one and five eights

Step-by-step explanation:

a.   we have two

lines:   y = 4-x   and  

y = 8-x^-1

given two simultaneous equations that are both to be

true, then the solution is the points where the lines cross. the intersection is

where the two equations are equal. therefore the solution that works for both

equations is when

4-x = 8-x^-1

this is where the two lines will cross and that is the

common point that satisfies both equations.

b.   4-x = 8-x^-1

  x           4-x       8-x^-1

-3           7        

8.33

-2           6         8.5

-1           5         9

  0           4        

-

  1           3        

7

  2           2        

7.5

  3           1         7.67

the table shows that none of the x values from -3 to 3 is

the solution because in no case does

4-x = 8-x^-1

to find the solution we need to rearrange the equation to

find for x:

4-x = 8-x^-1

multiply both sides with x:

4x-x^2 = 8x-1

x^2+4x-1=0

x= -4.236, 0.236

therefore there are two points that satisfies the

equation.

find y:  

x=-4.236

y = 4-x   = 4 – (-4.236)

= 8.236

y = 8-x^-1 =   .236)^-1

= 8.236

x=0.236

  y = 4-x   = 4 – (0.236) = 3.764

y = 8-x^-1 =   8-(0.236)^-1

= 3.764

thus the two lines cross at 2 points:

(-4.236, 8.236) & (0.236, 3.764)

c.   to solve

graphically the equation 4-x = 8-x^-1

we would graph both lines: y = 4-x   and   y

= 8-x^-1

the point on the graph where the lines cross is the

solution to the system of equations.

just graph the points on part b on a cartesian coordinate

system and extend the two lines.   the

solution is, as stated, the point where the two lines cross on the graph.

x= cost per bracelet

number of bracelets * x + shipping charge = total cost

so

9x+9=72
